Aligning clips with PluralEyes

Keyboard Shortcuts

While the tools inside of Adobe Premiere Pro for syncing are good, there is a dedicated third party utility from Red Giant called PluralEyes. PluralEyes comes into play when you have a tough sync. How do you align clips in PluralEyes? In this video, Richard Harrington demonstrates how to align clips in PluralEyes.

- The process of synchronizing and PluralEyes…is pretty simple.…All the magic really happens under the hood.…This is a product that's been around for a long time.…It's integration with Premiere Pro has come a long way,…but it used to be a stand-alone app…that allowed you to sync and then you would export media…or generate an XML file.…But now the work flows that much better…and really seamless with Premiere Pro…Previously, we used Add More Media button…to import media, remember, you can also choose File,…Import From Premiere Pro, if you want.…

I'm going to switch back over to Premiere Pro for a moment…and just make a new active project to receive this.…I'll call this Wine Shop and click Okay.…And let's just switch back to PluralEyes now.…When I'm ready to sync, I can click the Synchronize button…and it will analyze the shots and attempt to line them up.…You'll notice here there's a slight gap…between the clips here for camera one and camera two.…

That's because these were DSLR clips…and this happened right round the 20-minute mark.…

There are many reasons for shooting with multiple cameras. Perhaps it's to save time or achieve multiple angles. Or it might be to capture what's happening across a large area, like a sports arena or the stage during a concert. Luckily for editors, Adobe Premiere Pro supports editing and syncing footage from multiple cameras in situations like these. The multicamera editing process in Premiere is similar to live switching that occurs in mobile studios and newsrooms, and helps speed up the post-processing workflow. In this course, Rich Harrington reviews that workflow, showing you how to ingest footage and align it properly, as well as finish your video with color-correction and color-matching techniques.
